Additional Service Notes
When war was declared again on Sept. 3rd. 1939, Mr. Tessier's first thought was of that 1st class discharge certificate and of how he could turn his accomplishments to benefit the Allles. He was anxious to get into harness again- but not in the air force this time, as he lost three fingers off his right hand during sawing of wood operations a few years ago. He found out it was not possible to enlist in the air force and was satisfied to enlist in the 1st Canadian Tank Brigade, as staff-sergeant. As staff sergeant Tessier he went overseas with his regiment in June 1941, still a young man. He was born at Dewittville, Que., July 20, 1895, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tessier,
Latest word received hy his wife, Mrs. Tessier, is that he has been wounded (bomb) and is in hospital, “Somewhere in England.”
